Digital twins for resource optimization in multi-purpose ports: A design approach for data-driven decision making
Paper in proceeding, 2024

Multi-purpose ports' efficient and sustainable operation relies on seamless coordination and decision-making among multiple organizations. This paper underscores the critical importance of forecasting resource and infrastructure utilization for informed operational, tactical, and strategic decision-making. The proposed approach draws on digital twin technology to enable collaborative decision-making by modeling complex port environments to enable shared situational awareness among stakeholders. Illustrated through a collaborative project involving the RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, National University of Singapore, Grieg Connect, Umeå University, Kvarken Ports Umeå, and INAB, we propose a digital twin design to empower the port as a decision- maker in multi-organizational settings to proactively plan and optimize its utilization of present and future resources.
